“Rumpole remains a committed non-believer in Q, and has given up trying any approach with Q-ists – as neither mocking nor reasoning by critical debate have shown any effect ”
________________
It didn’t have any effect on him either, because I made a very reasoned argument pointing out that whether one believed Q or not, it was impossible to know for sure either way — not to mention that most of the Q critics openly admitted to having never bothered to read the Q board in the first place.
No one ever defeated the argument, and I posted it many times at CTH.
It was like a psychology test to demonstrate that people will believe whatever they want to believe, regardless of reasoned argument, and still pretend like they’re rational people 😁
Scott Adams ‘knows’ that people aren’t rational.
I’m still not convinced that applies to everybody.
Here is the basic argument, the last time I posted it was 9/26/18:
……………………………………
I’m not asking you to take my word for anything, I am simply asking you to engage your mind, ask yourself a few questions, do some basic deductive reasoning, and reach your own conclusion.
That’s not unreasonable, is it?
So far, the following basic ‘what if’ argument has proven unbeatable. By which I mean NOBODY I have presented it to can beat it.
Can you beat it?
You claimed that Q is a “LARP”.
Could be… there are really only main 3 possibilities as to what Q could be, that I have been able to identify, with others just being derivatives of these main three:
1) Q could be a friendly (pro-Trump) but independent LARP.
2) Q could be a hostile LARP or psy-op masquerading as pro-Trump.
3) Q could be what it claims to be, a group working for and on behalf of Trump and his administration
.
So let’s look at those three main possibilities.
1) What if Q is an independent but friendly (pro-Trump) LARP or psy-op?
Any administration would have to shut it down, because Q is representing themselves as part of the administration — meaning whatever Q says will be associated with (and will reflect on) the administration, to the extent that a significant number of people believe Q is part of the DJT administration – which a significant number of people do.
No administration could allow some group representing itself as part of the administration to continue if it was not true. Think about it. It’s a complete wildcard, potentially injurious and beyond their control, and which the administration would have to answer for if Q said or did something reprehensible while acting in the guise of a part of the administration.
.
2) What if Q is a hostile LARP or psy-op masquerading as pro-Trump?
All the reasons why a friendly LARP/psy-op could not be tolerated goes DOUBLE for a hostile psy-op masquerading as part of your administration.
To allow a hostile group to represent itself as part of your administration would be insane.
DJT is not insane.
Think about it. What if Q sucked all of these people into reading those posts, claiming to be part of the Trump administration, and then started posting racist comments and obscene photos and videos? How would that reflect on the Trump administration, to the millions of people around the world who associate Q with the administration? That’s what I mean by a ‘wildcard’. No organization (public or private) could or would risk the harm to their ‘reputation’ or their ‘brand’ that an outside party poses when it represents itself as being part of YOUR organization when it is NOT, and over which you have NO control.
Would YOU allow some group of people to represent themselves as part of YOUR administration (or your business), let it go on for 11+ MONTHS and counting, and remain SILENT about it, and never deny it?
Trump clearly knows about Q, as does the entire administration, and most of the country (and incredibly, the world). They’d have to be blind not to know about Q by this point — if Q was an outside entity.
Yet neither Trump nor anyone in his administration has disavowed Q or denied that Q was part of the administration.
They could. It would be easy. It would take two seconds.
But they haven’t.
If Q was an outside entity, and the administration wanted to, the NSA or military intelligence could shut Q down in minutes. But for sake of argument, suppose they couldn’t. Suppose the NSA and military intelligence didn’t have the requisite computer skills and hardware to do anything about Q.
What then?
DJT could personally and completely destroy Q’s credibility in seconds, simply by tweeting that ‘Q is fake’, saying it’s ‘fake news’, and Q’s audience would instantly be gone.
Poof.
That has not happened.
Why not?
.
Ergo, if Q cannot be a friendly but independent LARP, and if Q could not be a hostile psy-op — for all of the obvious reasons mentioned above — what possibility does that leave?
……………………………………
.
Nothing that has happened since 9/26/18 to cause any part of that argument to need alteration. The argument is even stronger now than it was over a year ago.
And of all the Q-haters at CTH, I don’t recall a single person ever challenging my argument.
Never even challenged it.
They just kept right on believing what they wanted to believe anyway. 👍
